Paraorchestra and Friends (TDN 2024)
“The orchestra can include everyone and it can be for everyone.” Charles Hazlewood, Artistic Director, Paraorchestra.
Paraorchestra creates award-winning, high quality and innovative orchestral work presented as large-scale live concerts and tours, recordings and broadcast programmes. Professional disabled musicians, composers, and artists are the backbone of our creative output. Attending a Paraorchestra show offers a transformational and emotive experience. Our artistic ethos brings new audiences up close and personal with the musicians and artists, immersing them in the experience and shattering traditional preconceptions of what an orchestra does, where you might encounter it, what it plays, and who performs.
